Just as I finished getting ready to do battle and drive into downtown Vancouver (a battle I never look forward to these days... must get those twin spando machine guns mounted on the front of my Subaru Outback..), I decided to cheer myself up and check Audlem Online... and there was Steph's article. Can't remember the last time I laughed so much!!

Living in Audlem, where are we supposed to take our recycling and general detritus? We used to use the centre at Whitchurch, which was easy to get to and never too busy. I then learned that people living in Audlem were told that we couldn't use it any more. Does anyone know which centre we are supposed to use now?

Billy Gibbons – Thanks for the offer, I'll be in touch on Facebook Messenger.

The bike track has been on the PC's agenda for some time I believe – see the minutes of their meetings.

I think it's to replace the bike track at the back of the playing fields so cruelly destroyed by Cheshire East.

Can anyone help? We have been trying to contact EPS barbers and every time we ring, there is no reply. Hope he is still in business.

Thanks Paul, I tried BSB but unfortunately they couldn't help.

Hello, does anyone know exactly what the plans are for a Mud Track for bikes on Turnpike Field? I thought it was a bike free area.

BSB Sound in Market Drayton used to stock thermionic valves: it may be that they could help out

All sorted, thanks for the quick response.

We recommend you to Nantwich Windows
74 Arnold street Nantwich CW5 5QB
Tel01270629139

They are doors and windows

Does anyone have a hand-held steamer that I can borrow to de-crease 11 pairs of curtains?

I have just bought a 1940's Ferranti valve radio. Does anyone know of anyone who could check it out?

I need to replace some old windows in an outbuilding – I'm just looking for a budget option (no double glazing etc.) and would welcome any recommendations for local firms that offer good value! Many thanks.

You could try the cheese stall in Nantwich market, immediately on the right of the main entrance.

Never tried it but:-

Near Brown Moss, Whitchurch direction.

Do anyone know where I can buy locally Raw milk?

Hi Clare. In answer to your post about a pet sitter. I am replying for my son. He is very likeable and trustworthy ( I would say that, but it’s true). He has looked after people’s pets before, including ducks and chickens! He has great experience with dogs, not least with our beautiful 13 year old chocolate lab whom we sadly lost recently. He’d be happy to meet you and your pets anytime. He has finished university and looking for work

Thanks Billy!! Coming from you that is an honour!!

Try Meakin and Sons at Pipegate

I can recommend either J.Meakins Coal of Pipe Gate or Harrisons Coal of Stoke on Trent. Both deliver where you want it....just like in the old days. Rather like the Bin Men did years ago only in reverse ;-)

J.Meakins; 01630 647233
J.Harrisons; 01782 534110

Can anyone recommend a company who will deliver straight into a coal bunker in an outbuilding please? Thanks.

"Drive on the left? I just try to drive on the road thats left......" Simon Gleave. 2026

Simon, what a brilliant quote that is and I'll be having it but I will credit you with it of course!

Not only is it brilliant, it's sadly very true.

Totally agree Peter. I drove to Nantwich last week and the repairs on the Hatherton bends are a disgrace. The back roads of Virginia are better than we have to endure here. And dont get me started on the road to Whitchurch, where driving in the middle is the safest bet.

Seemingly there seems to be no way of holding anyone to account. Drive on the left? I just try to drive on the road thats left......

Peter, try Elliot on 07907036493. He lives locally & has done various jobs for us. He's also a very agreeable young man. Regards Bob

The message from the Cheshire East's propaganda machine today would be hilarious if not so serious. The council will seize on any passing weather excuse or named storm to justify their years of neglect of our local roads. Tom Moody the highways boss has just left to join East Mids Council (Good luck to them!) & the CEO at CEC has been absent taking sick leave...and the robust repairs claimed in the article are anything but: Just see the ones in the dip @ Hankelow; They last just 20 days before breaking up yet again! The Hatherton bends repairs look like they were done by a child with a great hump in what was a hole! The standard of repairs using the much vaunted 'Velocity patcher' are nothing more than a quick (poor) emergency fix when what is really needed is proper repair with edging, tarmac & rolling. Perhaps the council would have more resources if they stopped all the PR & bragging about their new fleet of electric vans that were simply not needed?
